Memphis Depay

“Back in Manchester, I was not happy with myself.”

“I enjoy my tattoos, as you can see.”

“It is a nice feeling to score two goals at Old Trafford.”

“I'm not David Beckham. I don't compare myself to such a legend.”

“I want to let my feet speak.”

“Everybody watches free-kicks, and when you watch them, you enjoy them. You have got to learn how to shoot and connect with the ball and how to move your leg. For everybody, it is different, but if you want to score lots of goals, then free kicks is an extra way to do that.”

“If you believe in something that you can achieve, I think you will make it if you put everything into it.”

“I am a striker, so I have to score goals and give assists.”

“I take risks sometimes, and it's not the best choice. I have to take that kind of risk to become one of the best players in the world. If that's what I want to be, I cannot just play simple.”

“I have a life next to football.”

“I've always been criticised, but the important, that's what my team thinks. Others, I don't care about their opinion; they speak in the void. Social networks give them a voice, but I don't listen it.”

“I learn from my failures, but I will always try technical things; I will always try to take pleasure and do great things.”

“I have to do my job, so then yeah, maybe in time I can be a legend. But to have those positive sounds from the fans and the legends that talk about me, I'm grateful for that.”

“What's my secret? I don't have a secret - you just have to work every day on your dreams.”

“Some people collect stamps; I like fashion, discovering nice new things. I feel good about doing that.”

“I cannot be anyone else but Memphis. I tried that, and I was not happy with myself.”

“Sometimes I wonder if people realise how beautiful and honourable I find it to play for my country.”

“I always dreamed about the Premier League.”

“I don't always feel like a valued player.”

“I want to go to a city that suits me and a club that suits me, to a team that really wants to play football.”
